    No, they just decided that it was ok, and Buoyant Armiger motifs have a drop rate akin to nirncrux... except it's not really feasible to open 300 chests per hour.

    I can't even really find any chests anymore. I play of the PS4 mega server and we're having the same issues, even with the stolen paintings not being able to launder. I can't even place it in my house because I have to launder it first.

    Hey guys, just letting you know we're looking into this. Thanks!

    Just wondering Is there any chance of getting our CE Treasure maps back? I mean we get almost nothing when we commited to getting the game early.

    @method__01 I believe the CE maps are the same as previous. They won't have any type of set item and won't actually pull from the regular chest loot table. You essentially get some decon junk

    They want the Buoyant Armiger motifs to be rare, so maybe they should make them BOP, and NOT this horrible RNG drop rate.

    They don't seem to be dropping appropriate items...

    Like, I've found 1 master chest, a few advanced chests, and MANY intermediate and simple. However I still haven't found ANY Ashlander buoyant armiger motifs (despite having about 90% of achievements for Morrowind outside of HoF, including savior of morrowind) and I have noticed that the vast majority of the intermediate chests only drop one, setless, garbage piece of gear and nothing else, where as simple chests are dropping garbage green gear with a glyph or empty soul gem (something). Though the advanced chests and one master chest I have found has yielded 1 blue defilers item and the rest vendor or decon garbage. Meanwhile the thieves troves I have found are dropping purples, pardon edicts, and generally nice things pretty frequently. Some thing feels amiss here with the regular chests, particularly the intermediate ones.

    Anyone else notice this?


    Update: After 8 hours of straight farming chests and troves, intermediate chests consistently yield less than simple chests 99 times out 100. Also no buoyant armiger. None. The hell is that drop rate even with a so called "quirk of fate". Holy ***...

    have not found any armiger motifs, and opened hundereds, just like you said above. my CE chests had useless junk as well

    Just because it's in the patch notes doesn't mean it's true.
    Since the patch on xb1 eu
    I've done 2 full laps and opened 20 maps, nothing.
    This is only going to be achieved by buying with crowns or one in a million full book drop

    The armiger motif drops from dailies. Got a chest yesterday. but to be fair, I've done over 30 dailies (doing all 4 daily repeats since the early release, every day) and that was the first armiger anything. Normally it drops purple jewelry.

    You should have seen the CE Treasure Map chest loot...

    I only took a screenshot of that one chest but they all looked like this. Some gold and random nonset leveled crap. Not even a painting or something.

    The CE Treasure maps are garbage. After opening 5 I DESTROYED the rest. Not worth my time to run down junk.

    Update 6/22: Intermediate and simple chests seem to be reliably dropping appropriate loot. BA motifs are dropping 1 per 200-300 chests I open, which is actually pretty ok. That comes out to be about 1 motif page per day I play. Seems good now.

    You and I have a different definition of good. One per 200-300 chests is good!?!?

    Yeah one for 200-300 chest is abysmal. Who wants to spend the whole day just running from chest to chest?

    To ZOS

    Please reconsider the "IMPROVED" drop rate.

    IT DOES NOT make people happy
    IT MAKES PEOPLE FRUSTRATED & ANGRY

    What sort of game design goal are you trying to achieve???

    This is not a bug, it is a deliberate attempt to *** people off, it can easily be corrected so why don't you....why?

    There is NO REASON to make the motif pages so rare.
    It will not make people subscribe more....it won't make people play more to get them (after you have run around in circles opening hundreds of chests you will work this one out...oh wait...you don't play the game do you!)

    In ACTUAL FACT it has made me play less.
    It was the straw that broke the camels back, with all the other STUPID loot RNG walls that are multiplying in this game...

    /rant

    Fix it ZOS, its easy to do.

    I've seen multiple issues reported in subsequent patch notes, and some not quite subsequent, so personally I take what's said in the patch notes as only saying "we tried to fix..."! :)

    Um, no they are not. I got an Armiger Chest motif as a reward for doing one of the dailies (it dropped in a blue container) , but only one so far out of 30+ daily runs. Have about 4 Ashlander motifs from dailies though, so a slightly better drop rate. Sold the Chest for a 100k.

    I've yet to get any motif from a chest in Vvardenfell though. I suggest doing dailies and grouping with others that can grab their daily after you did it as a group, as they can then share it, and you can do it again.

    LOL, I did the same thing. Only removed 3 though from the crown store adventurer pack. Verified they were dropping junk, took before/after screen shots, along with a couple Intermediate chests that were literally right next to the CE one, and got better drops from the generic Intermediates than any of the CE ones.

    DO NOT BUY CE MAPS!

    You lucky man, I've done over 300 coffers and not got any.
    I stopped doing dailies once I got the motifs but I might go back to doing them knowing that they drop from coffers.
    I've just got my BA out of chests.

    It must be the usual zos style to give us incorrect patch notes or incorrect programming.

    Zos supposedly improved the drop rates with I think the 2nd to last update. Wasn't until that update I started seeing motifs from daily coffers. Was floored as the Armiger chest was the 1st one, and an Ashlander dropped at the same time (pretty sure it was the the monster hunt and the relic daily coffers).

    I got another Ashlander Motif today from a blue coffer:

    ?interpolation=lanczos-none&output-format=jpeg&output-quality=95&fit=inside|2048:1080&composite-to%3D%2A%2C%2A%7C2048%3A1080&background-color=black

    ?interpolation=lanczos-none&output-format=jpeg&output-quality=95&fit=inside|2048:1080&composite-to%3D%2A%2C%2A%7C2048%3A1080&background-color=black

    I suggest IF you actually want the motifs, then try the daily quests. And once again, they seem to e dropping (in my case at least) from the relic and hunt quest givers in N/W Vvardenfell.

    I have never gotten an armiger motif from a coffer, and have opened a couple hundred. Only from a chest.

    You have shown us ashlander motif that you got from the coffer.
    I got all the ashlander and tong motifs in a week doing it on 6 toons.
    Please post a pic when you get BOUYANT ARMIGER MOTIF.
